It’s not easy to find the best restaurant WordPress themes. I mean, there are hundreds of good themes and thousands of duds. That’s why picking the best out of the bunch can be challenging. This list contains various themes for food bloggers and businesses in the food industry. We give you a rundown of some of their notable features and ideal use cases.
What Criteria Were Used to Determine the Best Restaurant WordPress Themes?
All the best themes for restaurants have a few features in common such as responsive design, menus, location information, photo galleries, contact information, booking for reservations, shopping carts, and social media buttons.
Once you’ve covered all your basic needs, the choice comes down to extra features, layouts, workflow, and performance. So how do we choose which theme is the best?
First and foremost, we chose themes that meet WordPress coding standards. Secondly, we consider the theme’s overall design – including typography, layout, features, and usability. There are two basic use cases for today’s themes:
- Food blogs. Many personal food blog themes have the same functionality, so your choice will come down to how you feel about the design.
- Restaurants, small food businesses, and food magazine themes. These themes contain more specific functionality. Make sure the features match the needs of your business.
